The Polestar 2 has officially started production. Deliveries are said to begin this summer. It's being manufactured in Luqiao, China at a plant owned by Geely Auto and operated by Volvo. The first cars are going to Europe, with North American and China allocations happening shortly thereafter (I'd presume by end of summer). As a reminder, the press release says, "The fully electric performance fastback arrives with 408 hp, 487 lb.-ft. of torque, all-wheel drive and a 78 kWh battery pack, which enables a range of 292 miles (WLTP)." That should translate to about 250-275 miles EPA range. It can accept 150 kW max during DC fast-charging. It 0-100 km/h (62 mph) time is 4.7 seconds. It is also very beautiful (IMO). Press release: Production of the Polestar 2 Electric Vehicle Begins Production of Polestar 2, the first pure electric car from the brand, has officially begun in Luqiao, China. With initial production for delivery into Europe, followed shortly by China and North America, the new electric performance fastback is the first electric vehicle to be produced by the Volvo Car Group. “The world is facing enormous upheaval in the face of the coronavirus pandemic,” comments Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath. “We start production now under these challenging circumstances with a strong focus on the health and safety of our people. This is a great achievement and the result of huge efforts from the staff in the factory and the team securing the supply chain. I have a huge amount of respect for the entire team – thanks to them!” Owned by Geely Auto and operated by Volvo Cars, the Luqiao factory is an example of how Polestar leverages the expertise of its parent companies. “Being able to produce in Luqiao means we are able to bring Polestar 2 to market with high build and quality standards right from the beginning,” continues Thomas Ingenlath. Revealed in February 2019, the Polestar 2 is available in ten global markets across Europe, China and North America. Final order books in each launch market are now being opened sequentially. Reservation holders in each market will be contacted to place their final orders, before public order books open. The fully electric performance fastback arrives with 408 hp, 487 lb.-ft. of torque, all-wheel drive and a 78 kWh battery pack, which enables a range of 292 miles (WLTP). Polestar 2 is also the world’s first car to feature a built-in infotainment system powered by Android, featuring Google Maps, voice command via the Google Assistant and the Google Play Store. Deliveries to customers are due to begin in the summer of 2020 on a market-by-market basis, starting in Europe and followed by China and North America.
